Moving Pretty Slow by evalieutionspics

Moving Pretty Slow

Yesterday as I was heading toward the spider web and before I got to the praying mantis, I almost stepped on this guy. Then I saw the mantis and said, "He's moving pretty slow, I'll come back for him. Yup, he was moving pretty slow...he was dead. That's about as slow as it gets! So I put him on a pretty rock in front of some dead leaves. He doesn't look half bad! Is that a creepy thing to say? This is what I was working on if my plan for today didn't materialize.
I love this photo. He is so pre-historic looking. Love his shape and colour. What a shame he was dead!!

@dkbarnett Thank you! I agree, he does look pre-historic! This is the second one I have found, the other also dead. I know there must be living ones around and would love to see them rooting around in their natural habitat so to speak.

What an amazing close up! He is rather scary looking!! It is a shame he was dead, but it would explain why he was moving so slow.

You did him proud.

He looks very formidable with that armor. Very respectful post-life shot.
